Joseph
and
his
wife
lived
in
a
little
cottage
a
short
way
from
the
house
.
It
was
a
real
cottage
,
with
a
roof
of
thick
thatch
,
which
,
in
June
and
July
,
the
wind
sprinkled
with
the
red
and
white
petals
it
shook
from
the
loose
topmost
sprays
of
the
rose
-
trees
climbing
the
walls
.
At
first
Diamond
had
a
nest
under
this
thatch
—
a
pretty
little
room
with
white
muslin
curtains
,
but
afterwards
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Raymond
wanted
to
have
him
for
a
page
in
the
house
,
and
his
father
and
mother
were
quite
pleased
to
have
him
employed
without
his
leaving
them
.
So
he
was
dressed
in
a
suit
of
blue
,
from
which
his
pale
face
and
fair
hair
came
out
like
the
loveliest
blossom
,
and
took
up
his
abode
in
the
house
.
“
Would
you
be
afraid
to
sleep
alone
,
Diamond
?
”
asked
his
mistress
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
what
you
mean
,
ma
’
am
,
”
said
Diamond
.
“
I
never
was
afraid
of
anything
that
I
can
recollect
—
not
much
,
at
least
.
”
“
There
’
s
a
little
room
at
the
top
of
the
house
—
all
alone
,
”
she
returned
;
“
perhaps
you
would
not
mind
sleeping
there
?
”
“
I
can
sleep
anywhere
,
and
I
like
best
to
be
high
up
.
Should
I
be
able
to
see
out
?
”
“
I
will
show
you
the
place
,
”
she
answered
;
and
taking
him
by
the
hand
,
she
led
him
up
and
up
the
oval
-
winding
stair
in
one
of
the
two
towers
.
Near
the
top
they
entered
a
tiny
little
room
,
with
two
windows
from
which
you
could
see
over
the
whole
country
.
Diamond
clapped
his
hands
with
delight
.
“
You
would
like
this
room
,
then
,
Diamond
?
”
said
his
mistress
.
“
It
’
s
the
grandest
room
in
the
house
,
”
he
answered
.
“
I
shall
be
near
the
stars
,
and
yet
not
far
from
the
tops
of
the
trees
.
That
’
s
just
what
I
like
.
”
I
daresay
he
thought
,
also
,
that
it
would
be
a
nice
place
for
North
Wind
to
call
at
in
passing
;
but
he
said
nothing
of
that
sort
.
Below
him
spread
a
lake
of
green
leaves
,
with
glimpses
of
grass
here
and
there
at
the
bottom
of
it
.
As
he
looked
down
,
he
saw
a
squirrel
appear
suddenly
,
and
as
suddenly
vanish
amongst
the
topmost
branches
.
